Grant county; Espiridion Tafoya, W. C. Purple, F. P. Seiglitz, James Kennedy, Jose L. Montoya, of Sierra county; Felipe Candelaria, Henry Bignell, Margarito Perez, E. D. Litzey, Reuben Richards, E. A. Herron, Jacob Wer- thein, W. J. Ward, Jr., Mike Bamert, of Dona Ana county. Sandy McCorkle, foreman of the Key, met with an accident last week which came near depriving him of his right hand. A rock weigh- ing three or four hundred pounds fell, mashing his hand as flat as the proverbial pancake. No bones were broken, but it will be some time be- fore Sandy will be able to do a day’s work. Clayton To Die Nearly all of the people of this county know Clayton, who several years ago made a race from this city to Doming with a horse vs. bicycle. About a year ago Clayton, with his partner. Doc. Bolton, killed S. H. Cavitt, in Juarez, Mexico. Bolton subsequently made his escape, Clayton refusing to leave the prison. Clayton was tried and convicted and appealed to the higher court at Chihuahua. The higher court has now confirmed the sentence and he will soon be shot. Bolton’s whereabouts at the present time is not known, but only a few weeks ago was in Grant county.
